Building computational frameworks that enable existing complex ML models to be more suitable for practical uses.
I still cannot believe that we've made it to the Top 8 of The Trinity Challenge on AMR (from MIT Solve). It's truly an honor to be part of the Farm2Vet solution team. This opportunity could be a second chance for my team to achieve what we couldn't last year (as described in my earlier post on last year's failures). I strongly believe that most challenges faced by LMICs today stem from the lack of equitable access to knowledge for LMIC citizens (when compared to citizens in more developed countries), especially even more so for those from smaller communities in these countries. #LLM and #GenAI are game changers: they are valuable tools for us to bridge this knowledge gap. For more information, read our submitted solution here: https://lnkd.in/eqUsreQq Read the Linkedin's official announcement here: https://lnkd.in/evmWBsME Thank you to my Farm2Vet teammates for their hard work spent on this solution. I also have to specially thank my good friend Viet Anh Nguyen, whose knowledge and understanding of AI and the challenges in Vietnam are the inspiration for me for my contributions to this solution, and several other things.
VINUNI X UIUC PROFESSOR TEAM MAKES TOP 8 IN THE TRINITY X MIT SOLVE GLOBAL INNOVATION CHALLENGE, EYES £1M GRAND PRIZE We're thrilled to share that the Farm2Vet Team has been chosen as one of the 8 finalists for the Trinity Challenge! The project is led by Dr Giang Phi (CBM) and Dr Khoa Doan (CECS) at VinUniversity (Vietnam) and Prof Thanh Huong (Helen) Nguyen at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (The United States), along with other team members from CECS, CHS, UIUC, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Institute of Regional Sustainable Development and VetTech Veterinary Company. Out of an impressive pool of 285 solutions from 57 countries, we're immensely proud to stand among the top contenders, showcasing our dedication to revolutionizing agriculture and healthcare and preserving the lifesaving power of antibiotics. Adopting a unique approach integrating the power of human & AI, the team will build a trustworthy virtual veterinary platform (Farm2Vet) that delivers instant, low-cost access to reliable veterinary knowledge and services for farmers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). The platform aims to help farmers make informed decisions on antibiotic usage in treating animal diseases and collect citizen-generated data. As a result, it will be possible to prevent animal disease outbreaks, identify resistance hotspots, and determine Vietnam-specific solutions for producing food free of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The WHO has designated antimicrobial resistance as one of the top global health threats, causing significant damage to both the economy and human health. As one of the countries with the highest rates of antimicrobial resistance globally, Vietnam urgently needs an innovative and financially sustainable solution. The Trinity Challenge is a global coalition that seeks innovative solutions to the world's most pressing health challenges, hosted by MIT Solve, an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Solve is a marketplace for social impact innovation. Through open innovation Challenges with prestigious partners like The Trinity, Solve has supported 299 tech-based social entrepreneur teams all around the world today. The stakes are high – with a grand prize of 1 million British pounds up for grabs! Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up for the final leg of this incredible journey! #TrinityChallenge #MITsolve #Finalist #UIUC #Innovation #GlobalHealth #AntibioticEmergency #VinUniversity #VinUni #Proudly_VinUni

'Necessity is the mother of all inventions' this proverb is cent percent relate to my thesis topic "PROTECTIVE ROLE OF Emblica officinalis MEDIATED SELENIUM NANOPARTICLES IN BROILER CHICKENS UNDER HEAT STRESS." To get rid off or to sustain at such an ever increasing earth's temperature because of global warming here we need to be ready with some innovative ideas. So here we used the synergistic effect of Selenium and Emblica officinalis (Amla fruit contains Vitamin C) in the form of nanoparticles as both of them are antioxidant which scavenge free radicals with ease and the results were astounding. With stupendous ecstasy and profundity of complacency, I express my deep sense of indebtedness, gratitude and heartfelt thanks to my mentor, path detector, esteemed major advisor, Dr. B. P. Kamdi, Asst. Professor, Department of Veterinary Pathology, PGIVAS, Akola for his skillful guidance and motivation during this pursuit. His keen interest and enthusiastic support on my effort was a source of inspiration to carry out my research work. Under his guidance I successfully overcame many difficulties and learned a lot. I can see the present shape of my thesis because of his valuable suggestions and constructive criticism. I deem it as my privilege to work under his able supervision. Also I oblige to Dr. R. S. Ingole sir, Head, Dept of Veterinary Pathology, PGIVAS, Akola for providing the required facility throughout the trial. This is our ounce share in this never ending world of research. #research #motivation #work #inspiration #gratitude
